Will pregnancy cause severe hair loss?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be alopecia areata, commonly known as "," which is a sudden, localized, patchy hair loss disorder. The affected scalp remains normal without inflammation or any subjective symptoms. The course of this disease is slow, and it can resolve on its own and recur. If all the hair on the entire scalp falls out, you may consider treating it with a decoction of perilla leaves for steam rinsing and rubbing the scalp with sliced ginger to the point of local warmth.
